In this video, we’re going to take a look at the effects of kale on the body. There are rumors that if you consume kale, you will get a goiter and destroy your thyroid.

There are currently 0 peer-reviewed studies that show kale causing any damage to the body. Some animal studies involving pigs have shown that kale can cause problems with the thyroid in very high, concentrated amounts. A 154-pound person would have to consume around 17 pounds of cruciferous vegetables a day to end up with a thyroid problem.
